A graphic memoir that brings together adventure, community, conservation, and personal growth from an award-winning artist and storyteller Based on Jeremy Collinsâ extensive, art-filled travel journals, Eventually a Sequoia is part memoir, part manifesto. Collins, already highly regarded as an artist and climber, was invited to bring his sketchbook on a new kind of adventure: documenting the experiences of those who live along the endangered Amazon River. From there, his art and his curiosity took him to other endangered corners of the world. Collinsâ art-based storytelling captures these experiences in visceral form, from the wonder of passing caribou to the terror of a venomous snakebite. Through it all, he profiles the "sequoias" he meets--people whose small seeds produce enormous results, Eventually a Sequoia is an inspirational and vivid exploration of the natural world and how it can empower an individual to grow, change, heal, and thrive. All Age/$5-$8 Sliding Scale, No One Turned Away for Lack of Funds JEREMY COLLINS is a multifaceted artist, climber, and adventurer whose work intertwines the grit of the wild with a mastery of visual storytelling. Known for his breathtaking illustrations and striking narratives, Collins captures the raw beauty and intensity of the natural world through his art and prose. As a climber, his daring ascents in some of the worldâs most remote and challenging locations have shaped both his work and worldview, fostering a deep connection between him and the rugged landscapes he immerses into. Collinsâ work invites us to understand the challenges and struggle of wilderness and ourselves, sparking a deeper appreciation for both the environment and the human spiritâs capacity to endure. His complex, cerebral, and whimsical drawings and maps have been featured in books, films, and commercial work. From the cover of National Geographic to his award-winning book Drawn: The Art of Ascent, and Earth Almanac, Collins is a bottomless well of inspired expression. Learn more at jercollins.com.

This film follows their journey and shows the impact of the four lower Snake River dams on rapidly dwindling wild salmon populations. For over 1,000 miles, these intrepid women navigate the same waterways wild salmon have for generations, connecting the source of the Salmon River to the Pacific Ocean. From high water to extreme temperatures, this team faces the same natural challenges the fish do each year and brings viewers along to experience what the construction of these dams has done to our ecosystems and wildlife.  When:   6:15pm | Doors Open  6:30pm | The Grand Salmon Begins  7:40pm | Discussion and Q&A with Jess Wiegandt (Director, Cinematographer, and Editor) and Brooke Hess (Producer, Cinematographer, and Expedition Team Member)  Where: Empirical Theater at OMSI  1945 SE Water Ave, Portland, OR 97214
